All Friends Matter: Launching This September with a Message Every Child Deserves
Not all heroes wear capes; some wear backpacks and wag their tails. In All Friends Matter, debut author Michael Weinstein (with Diana Chavez) brings us a heartwarming story about belonging, kindness, and the unspoken courage it takes to be new.
Meet Dante, a wide-eyed pup starting his very first day of Pre-K. With a mix of excitement and nerves, he enters a classroom filled with all kinds of characters, each more unique than the last. There’s Zoe, who surfs like a pro. Eli, who dreams of the deep sea. Kenya, who climbs with bravery. Patrick, who sings with heart. And many more. Through each introduction, Dante begins to learn something powerful: being different is something to celebrate.
Guided by the gentle and wise Ms. Judy, Dante explores a classroom where every culture, talent, and personality shines. What begins as a simple school day transforms into a vibrant journey of empathy and friendship.
